Doja Cat’s latest controversy isn’t the first time that she’s lost social media followers due to a controversy she caused.
In August 2022, the 27-year-old lost nearly 200,000 followers on Instagram after she slammed Stranger Things’ Noah Schnapp, 18, for sharing their private DMs in a since-deleted TikTok post where the singer expressed romantic interest in Schnapp’s Stranger Things co-star Joseph Quinn, 29.
